About Me

Born to a Lebanese father and Indian mother, I was born in the capital of Lebanon, Beirut.

After being born, we moved to Dubai for job opporunities, we lived there for 3 amazing years.

I remember very little of growing up, what I do remember is having an intense love for fresh coconuts, mangos and riding my bicycle along the coast line.

Whilst Dubai is luxurious we wanted to move to the land of opportunities.

We took the plunge, so we sold everything and moved to the UK!

We lived in Central London, Brentford with my Grandad, went to school which I enjoyed and had family stay regularly!

London was busy, so we moved up the country until we eventually arrived in Bury, North Manchester where we fell in love with the slow life style and friendly people.

Highschool was a mixed bag, as it was for most people, I made some life long friends, made some cringe inducing decisions and aced my exams.

At this point I knew that I wanted to hone in on a career within tech The majority of my time would be spent playing games, messing around with my low spec PC and coding.

I thoroughly loved college. I threw myself into my studies and was very motivated to learn. I made friendships and discovered my untapped talents.

I explored my career path too, getting more interested into tech. I wanted to fastrack my tech career by gaining hands on experience from industry professionals, which lead me to enrolling for an apprenticeship.

To get some work experience I started working at a local pub, serving the patrons at the Bolholt Country Club.

This was a tiresome but extremely rewarding job, I worked with my friends from school and worked my way up from waiter to head bartender.

I continued working here alongside my apprenticeship, full time job and college.

To get my foot in the door of the industry, I enrolled into an apprenticeship. This placed me at Gooey Creative where I kicked off my career.

I built bespoke web applications on a white-label basis on behalf of other agencies, whilst learning the ins and outs of the industry.

I had learned so much, starting from Email, to WordPress and PHP Development, moving onto frontend technologies.

I had finished my apprenticeship and decided to stay on as the work environment was fantastic.

I continued to hone my skills here, learning new technologies such as React whilst working on a variety of projects.

After Covid I wanted something new, I wanted to challenge myself and progress my learning.

Here I used frontend technologies such as React, Vue, Svelte and was the Lead Frontend Engineer.

I grew my hard skills considerably and soft skills too!
